Innovative DeFi P2P Loan Agreement

In our previous article, we gave our community a deep dive 🤿 into our AML (Anti-Money Laundering) policy. This policy helps keep our harbors safe and it is a FinCEN requirement to have one in place. In this article, we share the loan agreement to which all ReserveLending parties must agree in order to deposit, earn and borrow.

You may be asking yourself, why would someone or an entity agree to a P2P loan agreement in a decentralized, permission-less ecosystem? To protect themselves! The open ocean 🌊 of DeFi can be a very scary place, connecting your wallet to a malicious DeFi protocol or engaging with malevolent counterparties can result in your ship sinking to the bottom of the ocean and your coins lost at sea.

At unFederalReserve, we believe that everyone has right and an obligation to understand and agree to the terms and conditions under which they engage with one another. This level of transparency and commitment will be the standard for all things crypto, and we seek to maintain our thought-leadership role in shaping that future.

The current platform does not require username or advanced profile information in order to use the software. However, all wallet holders are prompted to read and agree to the P2P loan agreement.

In the vast world of web3, there are too many lines of code behind the scenes that go unnoticed, and our job at unFederalReserve is to make DeFi safe and transparent for everyone, including institutions.

Lastly, if you are a U.S.-based DeFI protocol and you do not have something like this already in place, please take advantage of our generosity and use for your platform, today. All boats rise.

Before anchoring ⚓ your ship to our pier, go over the P2P DeFi loan agreement that keeps yourself and our safe harbor on the map 🗺️.

A Lender will be entitled to interest on Tokens it stakes as provided in the underlying Smart Contract. A Lender may attempt to withdraw the amount of Tokens it has staked at any time; however, any withdrawal of Tokens from the Platform is subject to the liquidity of the Platform.
